[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 1585844, member: 15399"] Be careful re-barreling Japanese-made actions. I understand they use softer steel in the actions and, if the threads gall, it will ruin your rifle. Remington's barrels are some of the truest around. My 1982 700 was miked at P. O. Ackley's shop and Ackley recommended keeping the barrel due to it's excellent concentricity. If you are looking at an older Remington, I'd probably change only the trigger. Mine has the original trigger and, of course, I'm extremely careful with it. I make sure to keep it clean. It is set at 2.25# and is wonderful. I have easily installed a Timney trigger on later model 700's and they work beautifully. Very easy to install and breaks cleanly at 2.5# from the factory. you may decide to go this route. The Remington 700 is a great hunting rifle!!! [/QUOTE]
